Supervised release? sounds like an anklet? maybe .. haven't checked re appeal .. and a misdemeanor, so guessing that would not disqualify him for any government position ..
" Judge Berger also ordered Mr. Blankenship, 66, to serve a year of supervised release and to pay a fine of $250,000, a sum well above what federal sentencing guidelines suggested, but she refused requests for restitution payments. The judge denied Mr. Blankenship’s request to remain free pending an appeal; unless an appeals court intervenes, he will begin his term within months.'
